Late Friday afternoon the keeper
of the jail became alarmed and sent a
report to Sheriff Bowers, at the court
house, that the prisoners were trying
to escape from the Jail. 1t proved
to be false alarm, however. but the
truth was not known until after both
the sheriff and dad" Smith had given
each other chase to see which could
get to the Jail first.
dad" ran his best, and the wind
blew through his silvery locks, but he
came out behind, painting like tug
with a cargo of sand.

THE SHOW AT BOONvILLE.
George w. Terrell's Escapade I'm
q Paper Collar and SLOUGH
Hat-Thin Attire for
O Journalist.

Doris q Colvin's show, that made
such bad record here on account of
the gang of desperate thieves and
thugs that follow Xix jackaIs on its
trail, left the same unsavory reputa-
ton at Boonvile. There the thieves
and thugs got in their work after dark
in great shape. Several of the most
prominent and wealthy citizens ofCoop-
er county were caught on the outskirts
of the surging m ,ss of people on the
show grounds or side shows after
nightfall and robbed of everything val
liable about their persons. Among
the prominent and wealthy men who
suffered at the hands of these bold
freebooters, were ThOs. Hickman, ODE
Keuklehahn and George w. Terrell,
the latter we'll known in journalistic
circles as brilliant poet and rising
young journalist, who is fast making
his mark in the world.
Mr.. Hickman, a prominent stock
man, was knocked down and robbed
of $50, and was left unconscious. Mr..
Keuklehshn, also farmer, was bru-
tally sand bsgged and relieved of $25.
Mr.. Terrell, who is well-known in Sc
dalis, had the most unique experience
of the sufferers. About 9 O'Clock, Mr..
Terrell, having tired of the monoton-
Gus exercises within the tent, mean.
dered to the outside and commenced
browsing around to see what be could
find at that elsted hour. Finding q
loue hOrseman on the grounds, Mr..
Terrell was invited to mount behind
and take a ride on the rear of the
steed's backbone. Geo. Washington,
the second father of his country, glad.
ly accepted this profered ride and
mounted behind. After riding around
the grounds awhile, suddenly, when
in a secluded spot, the tricky steed
reared up on his launches, and de.
spite desperate grabbing and clinging,
landed Mr.. Terrell over his tail
ON the ground. He arose only to
find eight hands roughly laid ON him
by four tough looking characters. Mr..
Terrell wore handsome silk hat; he
was speedily relieved of that. Two
hands then tightly clutehed his
throat, while six Invested him of his
outer garments with lightning-like
rapidity. A beautiful blue coat and
vest, with scarf to match, were quick
ly removed. Then a new pair of
pants followed. "Take off your shoes,
was the next command of the free
hooters, and off went Mr.. TerrelPs
shoes. In return for his kind charity
and obliging conduct, the robbers
gave Mr.. Terrell an old, creased worn,
battered SLOUGH hat. Mr.. I errell be-
ing then a mile from home, made his
way there as best he could. 1t is not
necessary to say that he was thinly
clad when he reached there. But the
worst feature and the one that most
grieved Mr.. Terrell was that the vest
which he lost contained fifteen cents.

Major Cole was much improved last
evening and stated to a BAzoo repor.
ter that he would be sufficiently able
to talk at the tabernacle tonight.
Contrary to an erroneous article in
the Lamonte Record the BAzoo is
pleased to state that the major has
performed great and good work in
Sedalia. Lamonte would not suffer if
the Christian people of that burg
would arrange for Major Cole to hold
a series of meetings. and perhaps
tame down the irreligious element
there.
